More sharing options – the new Share dialog gives you to option to choose how to link to the book and set options when embedding the BookReader on a blog or website. As always, you can just copy and paste the address in your browser address bar to get a shareable link to the current page. (Page 65 of Aviation in Canada, 1-page mode)

Touch gesture support – swipe to flip pages in two-page mode, pinch to zoom on iOS.

Improved support for tablet devices like the iPad.

Updated UI for the embedded BookReader – now includes “expando” button to view the book in a new browser window.

Integration with Open Library – books that have an Open Library record can have their title and table of contents edited through the Open Library site. The chapter headings on Open Library link directly into the BookReader. (Flatland table of contents on Open Library)

Here’s an embedded book for you to play with. For any of our publicly accessible books you can embed it on your blog too by getting the embed code from the Share dialog!

As always, the BookReader remains open source and you can look at our developer documentation for information on reusing it on other sites. We’d like to thank user yankl on github for contributing a patch related to using the BookReader with right-to-left languages.

And the transaction of mutual interest; relevance of pagination for screen books! Internet Archive appears to be on the screen pagination issue with a chapter based slider. And “each book is a website” at BookReader. […]
